Partnering with someone who cheats on their wife is a bad business move

Somebody said to me, man, don't be partners with somebody who would cheat like that because he'll screw you in a heartbeat... I went into business with the guy... he ripped me off over 500 grand.

Subjective business advice, though supported by his anecdotal evidence.

July 4th should always be celebrated on the first Saturday of July

They should really change July 4th so that it becomes... First Saturday in July... It needs to be a Saturday. The fact that it's a Wednesday there is absolute bullshit.

This is a subjective opinion about holiday scheduling.

Red Bull uses predatory contracts to lock bars into exclusive energy drink deals

Red Bull has like predatory contracts. So when you sign a deal as a bar with Red Bull... in the contract, it says you are not allowed to do business with any other energy drink. They buy you in, so to speak, and they lock you in.

Exclusivity agreements are a standard and well-documented practice in beverage distribution for major brands.

Sports only drive bar business about 70 days a year

Sports will only fill a bar about 70 days a year... And a lot of people think, oh, but a sports bar, they come every night. That's not true. They don't come for every baseball game, only postseason. They don't come for every NBA game, only postseason...tops 70, 80 days.

This is a business statistic Taffer frequently cites based on his industry data.

Women over 34 need backs on barstools, while younger women prefer stools without them

When you have women over 34, you put her back on a barstool... Under 34, you don't. And the reason why is over 34, women get very sensitive about their asses... Under 34, I want you to spin around for interactivity.

This is a specific design philosophy from Taffer. While 'correct' in his methodology, it's a generalization of customer behavior.
